I plan on actively recruiting new projects. There are many, many FOSS 
projects out there that could use SPI services, that have no idea who we 
are.

Defining a quality project is a bit difficult, it is also fairly biased 
on my part. In my mind a quality project has been shown to have members 
that participate in the FOSS community in general, have an open forum 
for discussion, and show a willingness to participate in other communities.

PostgreSQL (obviously) is one idea of a quality community. It has a 
mostly proactive community that is driven to not only create better 
software but participates in the advocacy of FOSS in general. PostgreSQL 
also makes it a point to participate in external events to help spread 
the gospel :)


Sincerely,
